What Are Wheel Bearings and What Do They Do?
On modern front- and four-wheel drive cars, wheel bearings are a set of permanently sealed, precisely machined steel ball or straight roller bearings. The balls, or rollers, are encased in a “cage” that supports the bearings, allowing them to rotate freely.Legu pli -
4 Signs You Have A Bad Wheel Hub
A wheel hub, or wheel bearing, is a component that keeps your wheel attached to your vehicle while allowing the wheels to turn freely for safe steering. This is also vital to a vehicle’s anti-lock braking and traction control systems. The wheel hub bolts to the steering knuckle and allows for a brake rotor and wheel to be attached to it via studs and lug nuts. When your wheel hub goes bad, it can cause various issues that affect your steering and acceleration. Today, we will look at 4 signs of a bad wheel hub.Legu pli -
cause and symptoms of a bad wheel bearing
Wheel bearings have come a long way since the days when you had to repack them every several thousand miles, but they still do fail on occasion. Keep reading to learn how to identify a bad wheel bearing by the sounds it makes and what to do to avoid a wheel bearing to go bad.Legu pli -
Symptoms & Signs of a Bad Wheel Bearing
We are used to driving our cars with the only concern being when we we need to schedule regular maintenance, but there are some dangerous issues we can avert from happening just by being aware of some not-so-subtle symptoms.Legu pli -
5 Telltale Signs of A Worn Wheel Hub Bearing
A worn wheel hub bearing is a pretty big deal. If you let it go on long enough, the wheel could literally fall off while you’re driving. That could cause a catastrophic accident that puts your life and others’ lives at risk. That’s why it’s important to watch out for bad wheel hub symptoms.Legu pli -
Top 3 Reasons Why You Should Use Roller Bearings?
From the simplest home appliance to the most complex industrial equipment, precision engineering is essential for safe, reliable moving parts. Connections must allow unrestricted movement, which is where roller bearings come in. Like ball bearings, roller bearings are meant to minimize friction while managing a load, but instead of having point contact, roller bearings have line contact. This gives them greater shock resistance and capacity, and they come in a variety of shapes, including cylindrical, tapered, spherical, and needle profiles, to suit various applications.Legu pli -
What Are Roller Bearings & What Are They Used For?
Roller bearings have been around for a long time—the earliest examples date back hundreds of years, although they weren’t widely used in automobiles until the early-to-mid 20th century. And since roller bearings are still used in many vehicles today, it pays to know how they work and where they’re normally located in case you ever have to replace the ones in your car or truck.Legu pli -
Spherical roller bearings for use in heavy industry
NSK’s spherical roller bearings are used throughout heavy industry - in mining and quarrying, steel production, the metal industry and paper manufacturing. They achieve a very long service life even under adverse environmental conditions such as vibration, high temperatures, shock and impact loads. This applies in particular to the spherical roller bearings of the NSKHPS series (High Performance Standard).Legu pli -
Double-row spherical roller bearings
Double-row spherical roller bearings are suitable for large radial loads. They can also take some axial loads in either direction. They are usable for medium speeds. Double-row spherical roller bearings have spherical raceways in the outer ring for both rows of rollers. Therefore, they are self-aligning within wide limits and can accept minor misalignment.Legu pli
